GAP Generated Material
GAP has produced or been detailed in several texts and publications over the years in order to advise whistleblowers and give people a history of whistleblowing law. You may purchase the following items from GAP:
The Art of Anonymous Activism
A joint effort by GAP and our associates POGO and PEER, The Art of Anonymous Activism provides guidance to public employees to enable them to prevent the irreconcilable differences that can occur when one is faced with a choice between conscience and career; and to make responsible choices should those differences arise. The point is that it is possible to fight wrongdoing from within without sacrificing your career.
The Whistleblowers
 The Whistleblowers provides fascinating accounts of some of the more prominent whistleblowing cases of the 1970s and 1980s by examining the circumstances that led to the subjects' decisions to blow the whistle, their motivation for doing so, the courses of action that they chose, and their thoughts on the outcomes. GAP's expertise informs the authors' treatment of the cases throughout the work.

This item is currently available on four PDF documents for your review and reference:

Ethical Dilemmas Article: The ethical dilemmas facing government attorneys who blow the whistle are confusing and complex. On the one hand, statutes like the Whistleblower Protection Act encourage government employees, including lawyers to serve the public interest by reporting fraud, waste and abuse – but on the other hand, until recently, legal ethics rules forbade lawyers from revealing confidential information acquired during the course of representing a client, which could include the government agency for which the attorney works. An article written by GAP Homeland Security Director Jesselyn Radack provides guidance on how to stay safe when taking this potentially perilous path (note that this article was written prior to Radack joining GAP.)
